Your aromatica looks like the green variety. I actually statred a tread a while back over at APC about what seemed to be two different types of it I had in my tank. One got nice coloration but the other would only lighten its green in the exacts same conditions/tank. LMK if you want me to PM you a link to the thread.

That's probably the nicest Madagascar lace I have ever seen. Usually when I see it it's in a state of deterioration.

Staurogyne repens, Fissedens Fontanis, and just about any Crypt Sp.

I also love HC but not in my aquarium, I love it in my Dart Frog tank!

Sorry for the plug but if anyone likes the Polygonum that I piosted pics of I actually have about 10 full nice stems for sale for $15 shipped if you PM me that you say it in this thread.

This Powerseller deal makes it really hard to sell stems and stuff because I feel that most people don't just browse that section because they may have a while ago and perhaps feel that it just the same old same old in there. Sorry but someone needs these nice plants!

I really want some too.. I purchased some from sweetaquatics, but they are not red AT ALL. the newly grown leaflets are bright green and nothing close to red... whether it is because I dont have enough light or if I got the wrong species... I still want to purchase more :P

Let me know if you find any hahaha

Wow I just bought some of these from petsmart. LOL! they sell it in an airtight package with agar gel to keep the plants from dehydrating + nutrition. o_O I planted them outside in my outside tank... I hope they'll do fine o_O
